ATTORNEY ilnited states 3,021345 LOTH WINDTNG BOARD Earl H. Robinson,Wayne Township, N.J., assignor to The Baxter Corporation, Paterson,N..'l., a corporation of New Jersey Filed May 5, 35?, Ser. No. 811,129 7Claims. (Cl. 206-50) This invention relates to cloth winding boardswhich are used as supporting cores for receiving thereon fabric in woundform, to provide the bolts well known in the textile trade.

Cloth winding boards known to the art are of a bulky nature, requiringsubstantial amounts of material in their manufacture and involvingexpensive forming and asembling operations in their production.

Accordingly, an obiect of this invention is to provide improved cloth wnding boards which may be constructed from a minimum amount of materialand include structural details which minimize forming and assemblyoperations, thereby materially reducing production costs.

Another object of this invention is to provide an improved cloth windingboard which includes a relatively thin body portion carrying improvededge binding strips and display strips which have adequate surface areato carry the necessary data relating to the specific fabric to be woundon said board.

A further object of this invention is to provide an improved clothwinding board made up of sheet ele nents of minimum thickness gauges,yet wholly adequate to function as a winding core and data providingmeans disposed at the core edges.

Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in parthereinafter pointed out.

In the drawing:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the novel clothwinding board;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged, transverse sectional view of one end edge portionthereof;

FIG. 3 is a sectional view similar to that of FIG. 2, showing amodification thereof;

FIG. 4 is a sectional view of an end edge portion of an alternative formof the invention.

Essentially, the cloth winding boards of the instant invention comprisea flat rectangular body portion formed of cardboard, pasteboard,corrugated board, or the like; edge binding means in the form of foldedstrips of cardboard, pasteboard or the like, and display strips whichoverlie the binding strips and carry thereon the data or informationrelating to the fabric to be Wound on the board.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, 1i designates one form of cloth winding boardembodying the invention. The same comprises a rectangular shaped bodyportion 11 which may be formed of cardboard or pasteboard, in laminatedor integral form. On each of the opposite marginal end portions 11A ofbody portion 11, there is provided a combination edge binding strip anddisplay strip.

Edge binding strip 13 is formed of cardboard or pasteboard, whiledisplay strip 14 is a coated paper well adapted to receive printingthereon. Binding strip 13 is scored along parallel, longitudinallyextending lines 18 to allow said strip to be folded along said scorelines and to thus provide a medial portion 15- and lateral portions 16,17.

The display strip 14 is prefolded along parallel, longitudinallyextending lines 22, to provide a medial portion 19 and lateral portions20, 21. The strips 13, 14 may be interfitted as shown in FIG. 1. Thewidth of medial portions 15, 19 of strips 13, 14 is greater than thethickness of body portion 11, to thus afford adequate surface area onstrip portion 1a to print or otherwise mark there- 3,021,945 PatentedFeb. 20, 1952 2 on the data or information necessary which concerns thefabric to b'e'wo'und on devicell). ,7 J

The interfitted strips 13, 14 may be 'r'eadilyaild quiclily assembledwith the'niarginal portions 11Aof'body ."portion 11; the inner surfaceof medial portion, 15 of edge binding strip 13'abutting the edge 12of'bjoicly portion 11. Spaced staples 23 are passed through theoverlying lateral portions 16', 20; 17, 21 of strips 13, 14,1) secu ethe same simultaneously to marginal portion 11A of body portion 11. Thelateral edges of strips '13, 14 maybe coterminous, as shown in FIG. 2.

It has been found that highly satisfactory winding boards can be formedwith minimum gaugesfo'r the severalele'rnents thereof. Thus, the bodyportion 11 may have a gauge of from about .070 to about .120 the edgingstrip 13 may havea gauge of fromabout .045 to about .100" and thedisplay strip l4may"h'ave"a gauge of from about .008 to about .030.Preferably, the grain of edging strip 13 is at right angles to the grainof body portion 11 when the strip 13 is in place.

As shown in FIG. 3, a modified form of cloth winding board 10A, may havethe lateral portions 20A, 21A of the display strip 14A of a widthgreater than that of the lateral portions of edge binding strip 13.Thus, the lateral edges 24 of display strip 14A will extend beyond andcover the lateral edges 25 of edge binding strip 13', to provide asmoothly finished covering for the edge binding strip.

FIG. 4 shows a further modification of the invention, wherein clothwinding board 10B comprises a body portion 26 in the form of acorrugated board. The complementary edge binding and display strips 13,14 are interfitted and applied to the marginal edge portions of bodyportion 26, with medial portion 15 of the binding strip 13 abutting edge27 of said body portion. Spaced staples 23 again secure the severalelements together in a single operation. it will be noted that thewidthof the medial portions 15, 19 of the binding and display strips 13, 14respectively, is somewhat greater than the thickness of body portion 26,thus affording adequate surface area on the display strip to receiveprinted data relating to the fabric to be wound on board 26.

As various changes might be made in the several embodiments of theinvention as herein shown and described, without departing from thespirit of the invention, it is understood that all matter shown anddescribed shall be deemed illustrative and not by way of limitationexcept as set forth in the appended claims.

Having thus disclosed my invention, I claim as new and desire to protectby Letters Patent:

1. A cloth winding board comprising a paperboard body portion of uniformthickness, a stilf, reinforcing edging strip overlying an edge andmarginal portions of said body portion, said edging strip having alongitudinally extending flat medial portion and longitudinallyextending lateral portions on each side of said medial portion, a thindisplay strip having longitudinally extending fiat medial and lateralportions overlying the medial and lateral portions respectively of saidedging strip, said fiat medial portions of the edging and display stripshaving a width greater than the thickness of said body portion, themedial portion of said edging strip abutting the edge of said bodyportion and disposed at right angles thereto, and means passing throughthe lateral portions of said strips and the marginal portions of saidbody portion securing said strips to said body portion.
